General Relativistic Stream Crossing in Tidal Disruption Events
Gauri Batra, Wenbin Lu, Clément Bonnerot +1
When a star is tidally disrupted by a supermassive black hole (BH), the gas debris is stretched into an elongated stream. The longitudinal motion of the stream follows geodesics in…

From Pericenter and Back: Full Debris Stream Evolution in Tidal Disruption Events
Clément Bonnerot, Martin E. Pessah, Wenbin Lu
When a star passes too close to a supermassive black hole, it gets disrupted by strong tidal forces. The stellar debris then evolves into an elongated stream of gas that partly fal…

The nozzle shock in tidal disruption events
Clément Bonnerot, Wenbin Lu
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star gets torn apart by the strong tidal forces of a supermassive black hole, which results in the formation of a debris stream that par…
